PAC: Give Mueller free hand to run Malaysia Airlines


KUALA LUMPUR: New Malaysia Airlines (MAS) chief executive officer (CEO) Christoph Mueller (pic) should be given a free hand to run the national carrier as a full-fledged commercial entity, deputy chairman of the Public Accounts Committee Dr Tan Seng Giaw said.

Dr Tan, one of the longest serving MPs, said AirAsia had become the icon among world’s budget airlines because its CEO Tan Sri Tony Fernandes was able to run it with a free hand and on the basis of meritocracy.
